Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusion definitely follows from the given statements, disregarding commonly known facts. Statements: Some Lawns are Prawns. All Prawns are Fishes. No Fish is Whale. Conclusions: I. Some Prawns are Fish. II. Some Lawns are Whale. III. No Whale is Prawn.
    A Only Conclusion I follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only Conclusions I and III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only Conclusion III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only Conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All Prawns are Fish (A) →I.I. → Some Prawns are Fishes (I). Hence conclusion I follows. Some Lawns are Prawns (I) + All Prawns are Fishes (A) → Some Lawns are Fishes (I) + No Fish is Whale (E) → Some Lawns are not Whale (O). Hence conclusion II does not follows. All Prawns are Fishes (A) + No Fish is Whale (E) → No Prawns is Whale (E) → Conversion → No Whale is Prawns (E). Hence conclusion III follows.
